Chapter 293
“I just can’t work there. I’m here to ask President Smith if I could work here.”
“Can’t resist your charms and temptations?” Jessica blinked at me.
“What nonsense are you saying again?” I replied with a guilty conscience. “Talk to you later! I will see President Smith now.”
When I entered President Smith’s office, he was shocked to see me. “Why are you here?”
“I really can’t concentrate on work while sharing a room with President Walker. Since there is no room for me to work there. I was wondering if I can work on the project here at the office?”
Initially, I thought President Smith would reject me, but surprisingly, he agreed. “Fine, get on with your work and I’ll try to talk to President Walker about it.”
As soon as I entered my room, I turned on my laptop and got to work. Not long after, the design for the presidential suite was done and work began on the sky garden.
As I surfed the Internet for information, President Smith called. “Lilian, I spoke with President Walker. He will arrange a room for you so that you can work in his house.”
Hearing this, I was impressed by Eric’s willingness to do me a favor by setting up a workroom especially for me. considering it had only been two hours since I requested it. Talk about efficiency!
Honestly, I was a little reluctant to work there because with him around it was so stressful and I found it difficult to concentrate.
However, I still had to be there if I didn’t want him to think of me as someone who was joking on purpose.” Besides, he already had a very bad impression of me from the start. he would have to face his sarcasm later, considering what a narrow-minded person
he was.
Still, I could no longer insist on not going there. Packing my things slowly. Then I drove to the Walker Group. Initially, I thought I still had to face his snarky comments before I entered the office, but surprisingly, he was nowhere to be found.
The secretary named Miss Armstrong was the one who led me to my office, which was next to the pantry. Surprisingly, the room was also quite large, able to accommodate around seven to eight people.
With a smile. Miss Armstrong led me to my room and said, “Miss Hawkins, if you have any other requests about your room, please do not hesitate to approach me. I will get someone to make the necessary arrangements for you.”
“This is not necessary. This room will do.”
“Okay, I’m off to work now. By the way, I will be responsible for looking after you, Ms. Hawkins. So if you need my help, call me anytime. Here’s my number,” said Ms. Armstrong while handing me his business card.
Picking up the business card, I read that Ms. Armstrong was Jenny Armstrong. Cracking a smile, I said, “Thanks, sorry for the trouble.”
and
“No problem! Starting today, we’re going to spend a lot of time working together. So if you don’t mind, you can call me Jenny.”
“All good! You can call me Lilian or Lily.” I answered.
With a polite smile, Jenny said, “Great! I’m leaving you now, Lily. Call me if you need anything.”
After Jenny left, I rearranged my things and started working on my laptop. No Eric around to stress me out. I could easily adapt and start working even if there was a change of environment.
After a long time, someone knocked on my door.
